What the F*k is that about?
He is referring to the fact that the city's name in
all languages except Danish is Malmö (in Danish it is
Malmø).
ö = \u00F6
ø = \u00F8
I suspect that Robert neither know these letters nor has a keyboard
setup to enter them.
So he just used Malmo.
The official translation to English alphabet of both ö and ø is oe,
but few outside Scandinavia knows that - heck even many in Scandinavia
doesn't know that.
And it gets really funny when a 8 to 7 bit conversion strip the
high bit so ö -> v and ø -> x.

I was aware of some of that, but it is typical troll behaviour - nitpicking.
Most of us are getting fed up with him (as are many usenet groups) but you just play to him. Don't feed him!
